Former D.C. schools chancellor Michelle A. Rhee will take another step Monday to build her brand as an education reformer. Word from Politico is that Rhee will soon unveil a national advocacy group related to parents, teachers and students via “Oprah” on television, then Newsweek.

Rhee could not be reached Monday morning for comment. But a source close to Rhee and the new organization told The Post there would be an announcement on the Oprah show at 10:15 a.m. Eastern time.

Last week, Rhee joined the education transition team of Florida Gov.-elect Rick Scott (R) as an unpaid adviser. She drew national attention for her aggressive overhauls of schools in the nation’s capital during her three-year run as chancellor, which ended in October.
